News Category Pages (gimme a hand)

This was posted in Product Support but no takers so far. I'm getting nervous so instead of going crazy I thought I'd bring it here:

Okay, orientation: News template. Here's the issue:
I want my summary templates to display the category as usual, but with the category name as a link to a summary page for *that category only*. Dynamically creating such links is proving to be a nightmare. I know I can create a page with a News call using the category parameter but when I turn the site over to my client they would have to create such a page each time they added a news category, unless I made it static (which would be odd). Hope you're tracking with me so far...
When I use the browsecat param the pretty URLs break down as well, so each category link's URL has a huge and very ugly query string appended. I don't want this, also for security purposes. I would much rather this all be dynamic but I don't know how and can't seem to find the answer.
Over to the community...
